Review of Lost 6.01/02 - 'LA X'
First off, I'm not gonna lie -- I loved this episode. I never feel that the premieres are all that strong, and my favourite till this point (besides 'Pilot', of course) was 'A Tale of Two Cities'.

First, the parallel time line doesn't erase anything. It's just that. A parallel time line, meaning it's taking place at the same time the original time line is. I'm not sure the second time line is going to become the real time line. Rather I think at some point the two will merge. Although, if it means there are two Lockes, two Sayids, etc... I'm not sure what that would mean...
I agree with what you said about them showing Kate's hearing loss! I was sure that was all it was, but part of me wondered if there was something wrong with my TV. lol They really do an excellent job portraying those sorts of things, just like when Jin was hearing English but not understanding any of it.
I hadn't even thought about Hurley not winning the lottery with the numbers! I'm guessing he still did, but they were obtained with a different past.
I couldn't agree more about that scene with Sun and Jin. I was thinking the exact same thing during it!
Terry and Michael were indeed amazing! What do you mean Terry was sort of playing Locke?

Obviously it erases nothing for the island timeline. :) I think they'll merge at some point as well. I have absolutely no idea what that will entail, though!
Ooh, I forgot about Jin not understanding English. That's another of my favourite things that they've done.
What do you mean Terry was sort of playing Locke?
I mean he's still using many of the same inflections and tics that made Locke who he was, but there's something different about it at the same time. He's doing a good job of playing someone inhabiting Locke's body, basically (even though technically it's not Locke's body).
